Do people hidden city ticket QF? eg book SYD-MEL-SIN when flying SYD-MEL

I was looking at a specific date earlier in the week (today I think) and noticed SYD-MEL fares on QF, cheapest available was $860 one way (as an aside when did it come that expensive?). But on same SYD-MEL flights you could do SYD-MEL-SIN for $690 or thereabouts. Do people ever hidden city ticket? I guess in this instance one could have done via CBR for half the price, or even less on ZL via ABX!

School holidays + end of week = crazy prices

Has anyone heard of QF ever issuing a no fly letter to a PAX for hidden city ticketing?

Just for something similar PER-MEL-AKL can be bucketloads cheaper than PER-MEL some days !
